A state appeals court has ruled in favor of a convicted stock swindler who claimed he owed his victims only $600,000 in restitution for a scam dating back more than 20 years instead of $1.1 million as prosecutors contended.
Armand DeAngelis, 51, who worked at a penny-stock business in East Brunswick when he swindled six investors in the 1980s, is now serving time in a federal prison in Florida. In the more recent case, DeAngelis pleaded guilty in March 2005 to defrauding customers in a gold coin scheme.

PNG Offers Rewards, Security Tips After California Coin Dealer Burglaries
Dec 4 at 10:10pm
The Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) is offering rewards for information leading to the recovery of rare coins and paper money stolen in a half dozen, seemingly-related burglaries from the offices of Southern California rare coin dealers. PNG also is offering security advice for dealers to protect themselves and their inventory.
“The ‘M.O.’ (modus operandi) appears virtually the same in each of the six recent thefts: they occurred on Sundays when the dealers’ offices were closed, and the thieves scrambled in and out in under two minutes,” said Robert Brueggeman, PNG Executive Director.
“They scooped up whatever looked valuable from desktops or shelves. Even though they usually could not break into a safe in that short amount of time, they still got away with hundreds of thousands of dollars in rare coins, bullion pieces and bank notes.”

It’s believed the thieves, who carefully planned the heist, worked for almost 6 hours, torching their way through tempered steel and 4 inches of cement to unlock the safe.
